"i
saw you standing there in the bread aisle at ralphs looking smoking hot
in a short leopard print skirt. we made eye contact several times as my
hand hovered over the wonderbread. call me maybe?"

in
about 2 days, after december 31st to be exact, another missed connection
ad will probably be sent out, but this time, dedicated to bryant ng's
eatery, the spice table. i can imagine it sounding a bit like this:

"i
kept running across you at little tokyo. your sexy interior and your
old fashion brick exterior really intrigued me. i sat down for a bite,
but now you're leaving? where ya going? tell me baby?"

oh those feisty southeast asian bites, best paired with beer since the offerings leans a bit salty and a tad spicy.

grilled bone marrow ($10)

sambal fried potatoes ($8)

char kway teow ($16)

beef rendang ($19)

crispy quail ($18)

the spice table cheeseburger ($13)

final
dinner service at the spice table will be december 31st and for $75 per
person, you can indulge in a final ayce meal of sorts from 8pm to
12:30am. if you can't catch them on new year's eve because of some
popping plans you've already made, perhaps drop by within the day or two
before this particular dining experience becomes a missed
connection for you.

Getting Organized

(read the following to the tune of vanilla ice's "ice, ice, baby").
all right STOP, let me elaborate so listen.
bagnatic is back with another obsession.
SOME things, grab a hold of me tightly,
flows through my mind, daily and nightly.
are you thinking FOOD? yo like you didn't know.
i seek new eats while my fat belly grows.
to the extreme i rock my spork like a vandal,
eat everything i see until my belly can’t handle.
DAMN! as my belly balloons.
i'm eating pork belly, banh mi, and shiitake mushrooms.
DEADLY, when i see a new eatery,
i hope it’s delicious or else that’s a felony.
i love it, i love it, but i effin’ gained weight.
i better get on a treadmill and work out twice a day.
but if that’s a problem, yo i'll manage it.
buy bigger pants and that’ll solve it.
yum yum baby it’s good, it's gooood…..
(actually, my first love is bags, but i couldn’t work it into this gangsta rap of mine. anyways, my name is bagnatic. hello and nice to meet you).
